You'll need to do a bit of reading, as it's covered along with the rest of the swap. In short, I used the following 240Z components : rack & pinion assy, strut assemblies w/ brakes, springs, knuckles, etc all from the Z car. I made an adapter plate to use the small OD Z springs in the 510 tower (this part is simple). The part that keeps guys from doing this swap is you have to remove the T/C rods and mount them facing rearward and weld up new mounts.   I hope this helps. It's more work than modifying 510 steering arms, but the geometry stays correct (no bumpsteer).   Let me know if you have any more questions!   Dave Lum www.datsuns.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Brad HALLETT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2000 6:10 PM Subject: Request for info G'day Dave I am a member of Ozdat, and I am rebuilding my P510 rallycar after many years in mothballs.  I am looking at ways to speed up the steering of the Datsun, without modification of the steering arms.  A member of Ozdat told me that you have fitted a Z steering rack to your 510.   Could you please find time to outline to me your experience in doing this.  I am looking at fitting a quickrack which I have sitting in my shed from my TR7 V8.  Hopefully I can learn fro your pricedure and save a lot of timely mistakes.   Thanks very much Brad --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
